The atmosphere was perfectly set, and only then did Fu Shiyi make his move.
Even the most intimate layers of clothing were discarded onto the floor.
The room's temperature was at its most comfortable, and Yunyang didn't feel cold, but she couldn't help but shiver slightly.
It was because of how stirred up she was.
Whether it was some innate male talent or not, Fu Shiyi didn't seem at all like an inexperienced novice. Just his kisses alone were nearly enough to overwhelm her.
She was lost in a haze of passion, but Fu Shiyi's gaze remained perfectly clear.
Except for certain differences that told Yunyang he wasn't as calm as he looked.
But the next step wasn't about baring everything to each other.
...
Under Yunyang's puzzled gaze,
Fu Shiyi grabbed her calf.
Perhaps due to his height, his fingers were longer than both Qin Mo's and Xuan Yu's.
He could easily wrap his entire hand around Yunyang's calf.
He applied a bit more pressure, enough that Yunyang couldn't pull free, yet not enough to cause her pain.
Then, he lowered his head.
...
Tender, unfamiliar, thrilling.
All kinds of sensations mingled together, crashing against Yunyang's senses.
Her eyes flew wide open.
"Fu Shiyi... stop..."
Even the words that left her mouth made her feel embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shiyi obeyed.
Yunyang ignored the faint trace of disappointment at the bottom of her heart and let out a sigh of relief.
...
The next second, however, Fu Shiyi's kiss traveled downward again.
Yunyang: !!!
She let out a soft moan.
Her slender, fair fingers suddenly clenched tightly.
"Femme..."
Fu Shiyi looked up.
...
In the lamplight, Fu Shiyi's thin lips were glistening.
"They haven't done this here?"
Yunyang yanked the blanket over her head, overwhelmed with shame and embarrassment.
It was too humiliating.
She wasn't exactly a novice herself, yet she had—she had...
Fu Shiyi pulled her out from under the blanket, a low laugh escaping his lips.
"I'm honored."
Hearing the male's laugh, Yunyang looked up at the curve of his raised lips.
Qin Mo had lied.
Where was this man ever reserved and unsmiling?
Yunyang retracted the suspicion she'd had not long ago.
There was nothing wrong with Fu Shiyi's abilities.
Not only was he incredibly capable, he was also a grudge-holder!
He had long noticed the doubt in her eyes, which was why he had so casually asked if she had any plans the next day.
All just so he could drag her into an all-nighter!
The wolf cub was fierce, the tiger cub was wild.
The golden-winged roc was neither fierce nor wild.
But he used a gentle yet unyielding method to make her fall again and again.
Yunyang started out flustered and mortified, but later she simply gave up struggling.
She just lay back and enjoyed it.
To be honest without lying to herself... it actually felt pretty amazing.
It was a completely different sensation.
But it was also truly exhausting.
After the all-nighter, though her mental energy had already recovered to its peak state, her body was completely worn out. The moment her head hit the pillow, she was asleep.
Fu Shiyi held her, glanced at the time, and went to sleep contentedly.
Yunyang didn't wake until noon.
The other two beast husbands were already waiting in the living room, and the moment they saw Fu Shiyi, they shot him a sharp glare.
This cunning dog had definitely kept their femme busy all night.
Bah!
Xuan Yu was the most regretful, since he'd thought about Yunyang having plans the next day, he hadn't dared to be too wild.
He decided that next time, he would last even longer than this dead bird!
Yunyang paid no attention to the three beast husbands' silent rivalry. After sleeping and regaining her strength, she was starving. She broke free of Fu Shiyi's embrace and ran straight to the dining table to start eating.
Qin Mo and Xuan Yu exchanged a glance, then rushed over at top speed to sit on either side of Yunyang.
Fu Shiyi took his seat unhurriedly across from her.
The meal had, naturally, been prepared by Xuan Yu and Qin Mo earlier that morning.
Perhaps due to the energy she'd expended, Yunyang ate more than she usually did, which earned Fu Shiyi another round of murderous glares from his two love rivals.
After the meal, it was almost time for the appointment with Lao Wei. Yunyang didn't dawdle and headed out with her three beast husbands in tow.
X92 Star's Purification Tower.
Seeing the extra male following behind Yunyang, Lao Wei wasn't too surprised.
An S-grade mental energy sire like her—having only two beast husbands was the wrong number. Even two couldn't protect an honoured one like Yunyang well.
But this newcomer... wasn't he that young man from the mecha research base?
How odd—hadn't they said the golden-winged roc's genes were special? How did he end up matching with Yunyang?
Lao Wei didn't for a second think that Fu Shiyi had pulled this off on his own charm.
Before retiring, he had dealt with Fu Shiyi before and knew the man was completely devoted to mecha design. He would never spend a moment trying to court any female.
Lao Wei was dying of curiosity, but was too embarrassed to ask outright. He just wildly signaled to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo: "..."
He didn't get it.
This brat, not a drop of mutual understanding with him!
Lao Wei gave up and simply ordered for the first male to be brought up for purification.
On the way there, Fu Shiyi had already reviewed Yunyang's data from the previous two days and offered a suggestion.
So before the first male arrived, Yunyang said, "Mr. Lao Wei, could you please bring both males up here?"
"Huh?" Lao Wei was confused, but didn't refuse.
He gave the order at once, and in less than five minutes, two males with pollution values as high as 99 were brought up.
With a second restraint chair brought in by another supervisor, the two males were seated side by side, bound and restrained.
Lao Wei gave his customary introduction. As expected, they were both former members of the Federation's 7th Army.
An elephant and an ostrich, both on the verge of complete beast transformation.
Under the protection of her three beast husbands, Yunyang approached. "Please open your mental landscapes."
The elephant beastman cooperated readily.
The ostrich beastman seemed to be already on the edge of losing control, struggling against the restraint chair for a long time.
Only after the suppression collar mercilessly electrocuted him a few times did he barely recover enough rationality to tear open his mental landscape.
Following Fu Shiyi's suggestion, Yunyang sent her mental energy into both males' mental landscapes simultaneously.
Lao Wei stared, stunned on the spot.
His honoured one wanted to purify them both at once?
This wasn't a rare situation. Other distinguished sires in the Federation did this all the time.
But the prerequisite was that the targets being purified simultaneously had ability levels lower than the sire's mental energy grade.
Both these kids were S-grade. Could honoured one Yunyang really pull this off?
Even though he felt his doubts were somewhat disrespectful to her, Lao Wei still worried.
If the purification failed, the two men's conditions wouldn't be worse than now, but his honoured one Yunyang might suffer backlash.
Thankfully, the worried scenario didn't come to pass.
Yunyang had superb control over her mental energy, splitting it in two to purify the black mist within both males' mental landscapes at the same time.
Ten minutes later, she withdrew her mental energy.
Both males' beastly features were receding.
Fu Shiyi looked at the elephant beastman. "Pollution value 78."
Then at the ostrich beastman. "Pollution value 80."
Finally, his gaze returned to Yunyang, but he didn't announce her mental energy level out loud.
Yunyang could tell for herself—the light bracelet had only issued a single warning, meaning her mental energy had at least 20% remaining.
And the pollution values for both males had decreased even more than those of the first pair two days ago.
Purifying both at once really was viable, and it saved mental energy!
Lao Wei was dumbfounded.
"Honoured one Yunyang, you are truly..."
He couldn't find the right words, and after a long pause, finally squeezed out a few: "Incredible!"
The restraint straps on the elephant and ostrich beastmen were released, and both men stared at Yunyang with burning eyes.
"We thank you, honoured one Yunyang. I have never felt so light."
"Honoured one Yunyang, you saved my life. If you ever have need, I will do anything for you."
They had been under supervision for a very long time. If it hadn't been for Yunyang, they would have completely lost control within another six months—or even just a few. That outcome would have been no different from death.
Yunyang waved a hand. "No need. You only became like this because you were defending the Federation."
Helping purify them not only boosted her own abilities but also earned her a handsome reward—it was a win-win deal. Besides, after making contact and purifying them, she no longer felt uncomfortable from it.
Her words moved the two males deeply, and they transferred the payment without the slightest hesitation.
The elephant beastman even said warmly, "Lady Yunyang, the number of your beast-husbands is rather small. If you would permit it, allow me to become one of them, and I shall guard you forever!"
